To a few males, many females seem grossly overweight nowadays. Are those females exhibiting detached indifference; do they like being that way, lacking in personal discipline; have a morbid love of food; fending off male sexual interest, or what?

I'd say change that sentence to "many PEOPLE seem grossly overweight nowadays". We eat too much of the wrong things (sugar/salt) and then don't do enough to mitigate the effects. If more people paid attention to WHAT they shoved down their gullet and made sure to do some physical activity a few times a week, it'd work wonders I'm sure.

why mention just the females? theres plenty of guys who are overweight, possible for the same reasons you give?

Independence and self-sufficiency. Women are no longer dependent on having a man around to provide shelter. It used to be that if they let themselves go, they ran the risk of being kicked to the curb (or their husband finding a mistress).

Genetics play a big role in why some women are obese and overweight. Some grew up eatting huge amounts of food.S ome have an addiction and can't stop eatting. They have unsolved emotioanl problems from their past. They have a distorted body image issues and can't stop eatting. Do some women like being this way? I can't tell you that.

They hate eating salad and dust for dinner?

I'm wondering if this 'thinking' could be the effect of television, where slobby, overweight men have beautiful, model wives. I've read that most t.v. programming is geared for young guys, which might be one reason you so seldom see normal looking women on t.v. or in any kind of advertising. Guys are starting to get a 'hit' of it with Bowflex commercials, etc., featuring tanned, buff young men that no average guy could compare to.

Who cares? Women look a lot better with extra meat on their bones, as far as I am concerned. Anyone who goes around critiquing the size of women on a day-to-day basis really needs to get a life, and sounds (to me) like a prick who probably isn't an oil painting himself. Women obsess too much about their image and weight as it is - the last thing anyone needs is for a small sector of men to start demanding answers as to why people look the way they do. Nobody is perfect, and in my experience, those who are the most critical of others are the most in need of a little fine-tuning themselves.

First of all, "to a few males, many females seem grossly overweight" means NOTHING. A lot of males don't know what the fuck they are talking about, and want their girlfriends to be anorexic because they don't like the tiny lump that you could call a stomach, then the girls end up becoming sickly and skeletal, then go to 'rehab' for years trying to get back to a healthy weight. As far as why they do it? If you are talking about grown women, there are two different scenarios that are most likely the case. One is that the woman is struggling with her weight and just can't seem to lose it. The other is that the woman has enough self-confidence to accept herself the way she is, and not really give a shit what those kind of men think, as long as SHE'S happy. After all, the men who are more worried about the way a woman looks than who she actually is are not the kind of men most quality women want to be with.

I think it could be depression, anxiety, past abuse, or just pressure from the media (and a few males) to be thin or try to look like photoshopped models on magazines. Some women I know are not overweight by lifestyle choices; they may have a medical condition or side effects from certain medications that put on extra pounds.

NO they do not like being that way. Some people have heaith issue.Also some medince cause weight gain. I beleve if it gets to far out of hand if it your medince that when you need talk with your DR.

Define "grossly overweight" P.S. The hottest sex symbol of all time Marilyn Monroe was 5'5" and wore a size 12!

In all honesty, us men aren't the shining paragons of weight management either. And I'd MUCH rather have a woman with too much rather than too little. Boyish stick figures just don't cut it for me. <EdIT> As for why many women are grossly overweight? Probably for as many reasons as for men who are grossly overweight. There is no single simple answer to this.

it is easier to eat food than to eat a male human.

Well aren't we lucky its only a few? And since I have no interest in anyone who makes such wild assumptions I got it made!!!! Wait..... I have a husband of 24 years..... damn it!

Laziness and morbid self-obsession. Plain and simple. It ain't just women, BTW...plenty of gross obese men out there...

Okay, just commenting on the tone of this question, which I find quite problematic: Um. Women are people in and of themselves, and do not exist as an extension of men, so men's opinions of whether they are sexually attractive or not should be entirely irrelevant in almost every social context? You are presenting their 'unsexiness' as being THE reason a woman wouldn't want to be overweight, which (forgive me if I am wrong) seems to imply that you think this IS the most important reason for women to lose weight. That's fucked. Women do not have any obligation to customise their lives to suit opposite-sexed people, they should do it for themselves.

did you know that back in the day in asia if a female was big boned , heavy set , thick , or what ever you want to cal them , they would be considered the beauty because by then having the appetite to eat that meant that they were happy (not to mention the wealth to afford all that food )...

Many women are grossly overweight because at the core, many humans are lazy. Laziness, remember, is one of the 7 deadly sins. And frankly in a world that is proud of excess and convenience it really is no wonder so many people are obese...
